      Never said they were. In fact, I specifically said “Granted, they’re not doing a whole lot of anything right now”. But just because this group of Democrat leaders are feckless morons doesn’t mean we just willingly hand it over to Republicans and prevent possible future Democrat leaders from at least having the option to use it in the future.

      The only people who benefit from ending the filibuster are Republicans.

        Ending the filibuster would need to be accompanied by a rapid plan to essentially erase the Republican Party in its current form: mass political education, deep and broad electoral reforms, vast increases in small-d democratic participation, and probably many more radical reforms that would essentially rewrite the country.

        But this would probably also erase the Democratic Party too, so they’d never do it.
